Is it just me, or has anyone else been overwhelmed by ant problems this spring.  We’ve always had issues outside, but this year they have moved inside!  I’ve been hitting them with all I’ve got.  I’ve tried talking to ants, reasoning with the ants (“You have to leave…  I’m not saying you have to go home, but you can’t stay here”). I’ve tried sprays at all different concentrations.  I’ve tried baits.  I am trying one right now that is suppossed to be best thing around.  I forget the name, but if it works I’ll certainly gladly post it.

My last attempt will be to dig a trench around our house and fill it with motor oil.  I think I saw that in a movie once.  It seemed to work…  Oh no, I’m wrong.  That didn’t work.  That had to set it on fire.  I wonder if I need a permit for that?

UPDATE: I have decided that I am living the life of Leiningen from the Short Story, Leiningen Versus the Ants (1938).  It was later turned into a movie in 1954, called The Naked Jungle.  Starring who else, but Charlton Heston.   I remember watching this along time ago, but it seemed kind of like a dream, so I wasn’t sure if I made it up.  I just knew the short story was called something versus the ants and that I read it in school.  Also, I also found a MacGyver episode with the exact same plot line, except that Richard Dean Anderson is there to save the day, not Charlton Heston…  So HA!  I’m not crazy.  The ants really are out to get me!
